So here's a game for the weekend:
What's more fascinating than the many things man does not know?
His forgetting of the things he does.

Guide to Dreams Update:
"God, I hate dreams!" said one guy.
"You mean when you're asleep?" added a friend.
"Yeah, then too," he replied.


A fan writes:
"In your last news I read a story about a mystic who'd been talking to a group of people for a number of years, and who one day informed them that there had been a flaw at the heart of everything he'd told them, and that they should ignore everything he'd said up 'til then, and that they'd start over, afresh, and what I want is assurance for my hearing of the tale (that is that), the mystic meant that he had knowingly and wilfully injected what he is now calling a 'flaw' at the core of his earlier comments for some specific purpose which has now been served. Am I correct? Yours," etc.

(Everything thought is a coded message,
and only a few discover the key.)


A man once asked a mystic: "Is there anything that could be said to ordinary men that has real transcendental potential?" And the normally reticent one pondered this for a bit, then replied: "You could offer them this rhetorical observation -- if the obvious can't possibly be true, then what can?"


Another man once asked a mystic: "I continue to hear people speak of man's 'spirit,' and am uncertain as to what they think they mean -- are they actually, if unknowingly, referring to man's instinctive life?" And the normally deadpan one just smiled.

Then yet another man asked a mystic:
"Do people really ask you stuff, or do you guys just make up stories about it?"


Another Tale Regarding The Graduations Of Man:
The simple want someone to tell them that there is a plan and purpose to life,
while the more sophisticated will go so far as to make harmless,
passing speculations themselves as to what it might be,
but, as always, it is the more conscious (god bless 'em)
who get the final line in these stories.

Another entry from our "Transcendentalist's Dictionary Of Terms":
Sleep In Bed At Night -- A mystic's only "time out"...and then a forced one.


In apparent solicitation of guidance, a man said to a mystic: "I feel so lost and uncertain."
To which the broad one replied: "Is it any wonder? -- you're alive."
